Retro buggy updated for modern track use

The Hotshot II 4WD (58737-60A) from Tamiya revives a beloved 1987 design while integrating useful updates for current RC practice. It keeps the classic character of the original Hotshot family but benefits from construction and handling tweaks suited to todays tracks.

Confident handling on rough ground

The shaft-driven 4WD layout gives reliable traction and composure when cornering on loose surfaces. Independent double wishbone suspension with CVA oil dampers evens out bumps and keeps the tyres planted. A front stabiliser helps reduce understeer at higher speed.

Featherweight body with reinforced internals

The pre-painted polycarbonate body in black with orange accents strikes a retro tone while keeping weight low. Reinforced plastic elements like the ABS monocoque chassis and robust suspension arms provide longevity without heavy weight penalties.

Tyre setup for adaptable grip

Semi-pneumatic oval block tyres combined with pin spike sections give a versatile tread profile that handles gravel, grass and compacted dirt. Large nylon rims support stability and predictable steering feel across different surfaces.

Yes, with the right electronics and tyre choice it can be competitive in vintage or fun-class club events. Its shaft-driven 4WD helps maintain pace on mixed surfaces.
A compact LiPo pack matched to your chosen ESC is common. Ensure the battery fits the tray and that connectors are compatible with your speed controller and power requirements.
Tamiya has good parts support and many hop-up options are available from third parties. Common wear items like arms, shocks and wheels are straightforward to replace when needed.
Regular checks of suspension bushings, a light gear grease, and keeping bearings clean will extend life. After wet or dirty runs clean drivetrain parts and relubricate as required.
